Wonderful hotel with excellent staff especially Mr. Two at the Concierge. The staff went out of the way to be helpful,courteous and accommodating especially with my 3 year old daughter.

The food and beverage was good though a bit pricey but that is to be expected from a 5 star establishment. The rooms were spacious and very clean. My only observation would be the overall design of the bathroom and toilet was a little odd and the absence of a bidet in the toilet was an inconvenience. The location of the hotel is superb. Very close to the Perfume River and the Citadel. Overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would certainly return on my next trip to the fabulous and historic city of Hue with its ancient imperial history and its vibrant and colorful people.

We had the most wonderful time at Saigon Morin Hotel.
We were treated well and more like members of their extended family.

The bed was good and comfortable, the swimming pool was big enough to do laps,the food was prepared mostly at the hotel and in particular we liked the Vietnamese special dishes as well as some common items such as baked beans or yogurt.
I did have a hair cut which was very special to write home about.

From the moment we arrived we knew this hotel was the correct choice. It really is beautifully decorated.

And the staff were so nice. But the room stole the show it feels like a showroom. And breakfast was also v.good even with made to order pancakes. All this and a 5-10 minute walk to the perfume river. We really didn't want to leave.

Perfect location on main road walk to cafes, resturants and beer all near by. Hotel can organise every you want including the private car to the airport .

Beware of taxis, motorbike taxis and trishaws when negociating prices they always want more at the end of service and not shy to ask you out in the open.
Agree on a price stick to it and at the end of service or tour pay them and walk away.
Hue is beautiful and the sightseeing was wonderful.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was really good choice for our family travel.
Location : 10-15 min walk to "tourist street" - We think this is good location for us.

This is not so busy and crowded but available to walk to tourist street . If you take taxi, it would take only 5 min to go to hot places.
Room : We choose this hotel which have a family room and triple rooms with bigger rooms than other hotels at the reasonable price. Room was very clean and we were happy to use big room.
Specially Junior Suit Room is very good with separate living room.
Facility : This hotel has small swimming place for kids with slide in the 1st floor and swimming pool for adults is on the 12th floor near breakfast restaurant.
We have 2 kinds and they enjoyed playing the pool during day time.
Attitude of staffs : All staffs are kind and polite. Some employees are lack of English but most of employees in the Vietnam Hotel has very similar situation.
There was Jacky in the breakfast restaurant who is very kind and informative for travelling. We got full support from him and he was very active and supportive staff in this hotel.
Breakfast : It has enough dishes with breads, soup, Vietnamese Rice Noodle, fruits and so on. My kids love to have the meal here.
When it rained heavily, we ordered room service for steamed rice and noodles and it was very good taste and convenient.
We highly recommend this hotel for travelling with kids.
Thank you Jacky for making our trip happy.

By far the best place we stayed in during our travels around Vietnam (we stayed in 8 different hotels).

Doesn't look much from the outside but once inside you are well taken care of. We were greeted with welcome drinks, while our bags were taken to the room. The room was very clean and pretty with immaculate attention to details. There were fresh fruits for us to try. Wi-Fi was available free of charge and we also had a PC in our room for our use. Breakfast selection was fantastic and plentiful. Hotel is right in the town centre so all the restaurants and bars are on your doorstep. The walk to Hue Citadel takes around 20-25 mins.
We would definitely stay there again. Very highly recommended!!!

Hue Hotel offers remarkable services for good value. The hotel is charming, with an elegant design and large rooms.

The swimming pool is small but very useful after a day in the heat, especially with children.
They should just think to increase the number of long chairs around the swimming pool. Or to make more available on demand.
The breakfast is top quality, both for Asian and European food.

we were greeted with a welcome drink, and free fresh fruit in our room.
The reception staff have good english, and were always happy to help and advise.

The hotel has a nice pool on the 2 floor, with sunbeds etc.
Our room had a balcony overlooking the city. Room was large, with bath and shower.Good standard of cleanliness.
We booked a couple of trips with the hotel, which were good value.
The breakfast buffet was v. good, with staff eager to help.
We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel

We got a great room in the historical part of the building. It was very well equipped, spacious and clean.

I would probably recommend booking a terrace suite, because it has a lovely view of the pool and garden, but any room should be nice. The staff it extremely attentive and friendly, although not annoying, and the buffet breakfast is fantastic! The surronding area is peaceful and quiet, and the hotel is just 5minutes walk from the train station and 2 minutes walk from the Ho Chi Min museum.
All in-highly recommended, we wish we had stayed longer.

We only planned for one day in Hue since we only intended to visit the Citadel. The hotel staff are very friendly especially Ms.

Phuong Anh. She introduced us a private tour in Hue with affordable price (around USD48 for 8 hours tour excluded entrance fees for 6 of us). Beside the Citadel, she also briefly introduces the places to visit in Hue. She can speak fluent English. Besides, she also told us the best restaurants in town. We tried it, excellence! The breakfast prepared by the hotel is excellence and they served the best noodle soup in town (I forgot the name, but I guess it is Bun Cha Hue?). I booked a deluxe room, but they gave us a deluxe family room. So, it was really comfortable for my wife and me with a two years old kid. I really appreciated. Generally, what they have done for us, I considered it is beyond their responsibility. They made our journey in Hue unforgettable especially foods in Hue. I strongly recommended this hotel in Hue.

The service from this boutique hotel was amazing. Apart from a welcome drink and fruits, the staff sat the guest down to run through the type of activities available, facilities provided by the hotel etc etc.

It is located in the back of an alley but not unusual for hostel -When I booked I thought a hotel but it is still operated as a hostel - but it was much better than some hotels I stayed in Vietnam for less money.

The reception girl Lan was very helpful, My room was nice size and clean and looked better than some hotels in Hanoi/HCMC I stayed at. very close to restaurants and bars. I walked to the Imperial palace. I would recommend based on location, price and cleanness - no elevator just FYI

hotel was conveniently placed close to the train station and the imperial city but was quiet and pleasant.

rooms were well-appointed and equiped. very nice restaurant with excellent choice of food. were well impressed with the staff who provided us with cash (against credit card) when atm across the road was not operating. all in all can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel! very good value for money!

Ngoc Huong was great. It's at the center of everything we mainly choosed it because of location. The staff is nice and very professional.

Don't rent your bike or motorbike there, it's a bit pricey we got ours on the same street from a nice lady for 100,000dong a day and didn't return it till 10. the breakfast was superb! It was 5 star breakfast. The rooms were quite unlike other hotels we could hear through the walls. Ngoc Huong is highly reccommended!

One of our best stay in Asia. The staff, especially Ngo, was amazing and welcoming. Breakfast was big and good.

Room was ultra clean and well equipped. Only small downsides, construction work outside our window woke us up every morning at 6:30 and there was no space around the bed. Apart from that, top notch hotel for the price. Thanks again!

Our stay at this hotel was amazing. We were always greeted with smiles and friendly conversations by all members of the staff.

They would go above and beyond to help you with anything. The location is optimal and you are within walking distance of all main attractions and areas. Would definatly recommend this hotel to anyone and will definatly be staying here again if we return to Vietnam.

Very good hotel that is run by a very nice family. The rooms are clean and spacious. Only weird thing in our room was that you couldn't turn off the lights without turning off the electricity too.

This meaning that we couldn't charge our phones or have the AC on during the night if we didn't sleep with the light on. Might have been something we didn't understand but it wasn't a problem because we have power banks. The breakfast is really good!

Awesome but due to extreme hot weather 43 degrees C during our stay pool temperatures were little warm perhaps some shade umberellas on the rooftop for the plunge pools would make them more usable/comfortable during extreme heat events

I know this is a budget hotel and people will probably say you get what u pay for but we have paid half the price for hotels in Vietnam and they were 100 times better.

Don't be fooled by the pictures. It does not look like that at all. We booked because we thought it looked nice and we could relax by the lovely looking pool after being in the city for a week. There are no sun loungers and no pool just a tiled hole with a foot of grimy water in it. The pleasant looking gardens do not exist either. Instead there is a bit of scrub land filled with rubble, rubbish and the carcass of an old boat. No sun loungers on the beach and most of the thatched sun shades shown in the pictures have fallen over and broken. There is not food available at the hotel restaurant after 7pm and its a fair walk on a busy but dark main road to find anywhere to eat. We had breakfast at the hotel, they only offer Vietnamese food which is fine for us as we like it so that wasn't a problem but the rat that ran under the table next to us while we were eating was!! Only positive thing I can say is the room it's self was ok. The bathroom was pretty grubby but just about passable!

Hotel was small but lovely and the staff could not have been friendlier. We arrived on the nightbus from Hanoi and they quickly turned our room around so we could freshen up for the day.

They had lots of recommendations of what we could do around the area and sent us to an extremely nice restaurant. We could not fault the service we received and all for a very cheap price. Breakfast was amazing with so many choices again I can't recommend this homestay enough.

I loved my stay at Kim's! The basics are all there and done well, but the real treat is the family. It didn't take long for me to feel welcomed by the family and I always find this to be a huge bonus when I travel by myself.

The basics: The dorm room I stayed in was clean and large. I found it easy to sleep. The bathroom is normal for this area and was clean as well. The place is comfortable and breakfast is great. The location is a bit away from the center of Hue, but I didn't find that to be an issue. Walking, biking,and taxis are all available as an option.
The bonus: If you stay here, please use your connection to the family to enhance your stay. They offer tours around Hue and Kim will help you set up the best way to get to your next destination. Take their advice... They know what they are talking about. If you have the option, take the motorcycle tour from Hue to Hoi An with Son Le and/or other family members. It was the best experience of my Vietnam trip!! Oh, and if you are really lucky, Miss Coca Cola will be there to greet you with the cutest smile in the world!!

This hotel serves as my stopover to Da Nang, as I wanted to explore the scenic rail-route between Da Nang and Hue.

A relatively good budget hotel that is value for money. The staff speak poor English but I managed to convey my message with "sign" language. Location is good - within cycling/walking distance to the Imperial City of Hue. However, I would recommend that you take a motorbike taxi (20.000 VND) if you are coming from the train station as the hotel is a distant walk away. Do not be fooled by Le Loi Street as it stetches over 2 km (30 min. walk) and the hotel is located at opposing end. Bicycle rental facility is provided by the hotel and I managed to rent a day (24 hours) at 20.000 VND. The hotel can also arrange for a private tour to Hue's Royal Tombs, but I am not sure about the cost as I did not take up that offer due to time constraint.

Traveler impressions of Hue

Hue is a great town, and was better than I expected. The area around Hue has many historical artifacts and sights that are special.

You will see places that you have not heard of, or imagined, like an underground dungeon for communists (9 tunnels) or the old emperor's country palace.
The place is quiet and relaxed, I couldn't tell how small the city was, but it was certainly a small city. If you need a respite from the noise and "scooter crowds" of Saigon, visit Hue. It's also a cheap place to stay, with great value.
You can enjoy a boat trip where singers in traditional costume will put on a show for you, that's really special.
Overall, this place is worth seeing for all it's history and slower pace of life.

Eating at the Why Not Bar and Restaurant at 46 Pham Ngu Lao Street was great value and better taste than we had found in some other 'authentic' Vietnamese restaurants.

We went to eat traditional Vietnamese food and they delivered traditional rather than westernised meals. Dong Ba markets are a must see for the diversity of culture and the sport of bartering. Many traders here are less willing to barter, however those who are not aiming solely at the affluent tourists are sure to win a tourists favour with their quality of wares (and jewellery). Temples are plentiful, but none compares to the history of the Hue Citadel..... make sure you take time to read and walk to encompass the diversity of histories within this old imperial city and allow more time than you thought (4 hours was not enough).

Many nice local dishes. beautiful people. Beautiful Thuan An beach is good for swimming and not far from Hue. However, wet weather is almost all year round, which makes Hue distinct. Hue can be a stop over on the way to Danang and Hoi An. Strongly recommended.

History of Vietnam, going back in times, very relaxing, friendly people, water puppet must see..food is good nice place love it!

Kah Hup,Singapore

I would spend a day trip visiting the cave in Phong Anh (sp?) and then spend a day trip without a tour guide to explore the palaces.

I didn't like the food as there was not much selection compared to Saigon. I find the Hue people are mostly kind and not as rude as those in Hanoi. The night life here is none existent. You got no where to go after 8 pm. Most shops and restaurants shut down after 9 pm. I really hope that they would stay open a little later.

I have been living in Hue for 9 months now and see many tourists come for too short a time! Hue used to be the capital of Vietnam so is really a must to visit and there is too much to see for just a couple of days.

Key places are The Citadel and museum, the Tien Mu Pagoda, At least three of the tombs in the countryside (suggest MinhMang, Tu Dug, Khai Dinh), the ancient covered bridge apart from good food and exploring the city and the markets.

A history city with full of character of its own. Quite different form Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city. Serene and slower pace that the two major city in Vietnam

Lim,Malaysia

For the culture buffs this is the place.The old Imperial capital of Vietnam.The south side of the city-south of the Perfume River that is,is more residential but with shopping and restaurants in good numbers.

The markets and a shopping are on the north side together with the commercial centre of the city.Visit the Dong Ba market(7 days a week)beside the bus station.The city is good for walking but get organised if visiting the Citadel and Temples or Pagodas or the Demilitarised Zone of the American War

The city is perfect for those who are into history and culture. This is the only old capital of Vietnam that still have the palace and pretty much every thing survive through time and war.

Food here is the best of the best, even vegetarian food is so impressive. Need around 3 days to taste all Hue food.
Inhabitants are generally friendly except those taxi/motorbike taxi who try to get you on their vehicles.

Bustling city and old imperial capital of Vietnam by the perfume river. Things are hectic here with all the scooters and small crowded streets, but I didn't meet a single rude person while staying here.

You'll pass the usual pushy merchant and plenty of people offering you rides to the attractions and tourist spots, which is great if you need one but gets annoying if you just want to walk around town. There's lots of amazing vegetarian food here if you can find it. It really helps if you or someone with you can read or speak Vietnamese. Most of the night life I noticed was going on near the riverfront. There's a few pubs and restaurants on the South side, notably the DMZ restaurant being the hot spot for travelers and people staying at the hostel. There's also hour long mini cruises in the river, where you can listen to traditional live music. Not as bustling as Da Nang, but still has night life.

Hue is a place for Couples and basically a 2 night deal as there isn't much to see there. The Citadele looks amazing but the attractions inside are very limited and always crowded.

For a couple I would recommend travelling out 45 mins to the Thanh Alba resort to visit the hot springs which usually costs around $8 per person for the day. In Hue there is only one place to eat in the evening if you fancy a romantic retreat and that is Les Jardins de la Carambole inside the Citadele walls.
Other than the above mentioned activities there are 2 main tourist street to walk down enjoy a beer/coffee and chill out, so definitely just a 2 night stay.

I'd booked four nights in Hue, and this was far too long - two would have been easily sufficient. There is relatively little to do other than the Citadel / Imperial Palace (which is very interesting) and a dragon boat trip with visitis to the tombs of the Emperors (also very good) after that you are serioisly scraping the barrel - trips to Lang Co beach / Danang / Marble mountain / Hai van Pass can be rolled into one bus trip on the way to Hoi An - aren't really worth individual trips (in my view!).

Bushell,United Kingdom

Hue is spread out so you would need to jump in a taxi at a low cost. Be sure to visit Tomb of Khai Dinh, the Imperial City and the Thien Mu Pagoda.

Take a boat trip along the river too! If looking for somewhere nice to eat, try Confetti.

We were expecting a weather of 28-30 deg C, but it was much hotter 34- 36*C and so much hotter than Singapore and Malaysia.

Definitely not for wondering in the sun, to the Tombs or Citadel.
Transport is relatively expensive by taxi, but one has no choice as there is no stage bus. Check the tour company you are going with before parting with your money; we had a tour bas with poor aircon, no safety belt and all grab handles broken.

No-one should visit Vietnam without stopping off in Hue - which is itself en-route to HoiAn some 3 hours further south.

Both towns are similar and essential viewing although HoiAn is perhaps more the past 500 years Hue seems like the past 5000 years. To me HoiAn was wonderful if not a bit over the top - the old town (nicely cordoned off so only bicycles can use the streets) with so many buildings all needing to be visited) but here Hue isn't really a tourist town - it is a functioning city that welcomes tourists. And the Hue Citadel complex is a MUST, even if the only site you visit in Vietnam.

Lots of things to visit citerdale tombs a lot of history be careful of the sleasy motorbike men offer drugs and women and drive you mad and can rip you off caution required use but be careful make it clear that that is the price and thats it you go somewhere and they say 1 price then ask for another or don, t give change

Warwick,Australia

I love Hue for its importance in Vietnamese history. Definately visit the tombs on one day and then the Citadel on another day.

Tours which include both on the same day do not leave enough time at the citadel. I havent visited the beach as I have been told by locals that it is dirty - and it must be if THEY think its dirty. Food is very good especial La Carambole. Also visit Y Thao Restaurant in the Citadel for dinner for a unique experience.

to stay here is up to you most of the coaches seem to stay for one night then move on but i could have stayed longer as there were trips to the DMZ and the trail that were offered and of course to go and see the tombs and the pagoda.

Rowland,United Kingdom

Met a rude lady in the agency office who told me to wait in the office after i showed her the bus ticket.

Thus we waited at the wrong office and despite me checking with her a few times, she was quite rude and keep asking me to wait though is the wrong office. In the end, we missed the bus and have to take a taxi from airport (we boarded the wrong bus to airport) to Hoi An.

Less touristy than Hoi An , more historic sights , a good mix of locals and attractions without the masses of pedlars

Mc Quaid,Australia

Hue is more laid back and easy going than HCMC.The people of Central Vietnam are so warm and friendly.

They treat you like you are already friends.
We visited just before Christmas and is was cloudy with light rain or spinkles daily, so be sure to bring an umbrella or rain jacket for this time of year.
We hired a driver and learned so much from him.
A lot of renovation is happening at the Citadel, allow yourself more time here than you think you need as it is quite large and spread out.

More about Hue

There was a time when Hue was the imperial capital of Vietnam. This historical place has given the city a very special charm as it houses former government buildings and very ornate structures that once belonged to royalty.

The city is centrally located in the middle of Vietnam, making it easily accessible from the bigger cities either by air or ground transportation. There are daily flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City into Hue’s Phu Bai International Airport, although the flight schedules change according to the weather. Additionally, there are options for taking taxis or public ground transportation from surrounding cities, depending on budget and scheduling needs. Hotels near Phu Bai Airport are conveniently located in the city center, convenient for those traveling or sticking around in the city.

Perfume River is one of Hue’s most famous attractions, upon which can be found the Tombs of the Emperors. While the tombs are accessible by bike, the best way to see them is by a river boat tour which gives the best experience of the landmarks. Some of the tombs, such as the Tomb of Tu Duc, are very well maintained, while some have fallen into disrepair. These tombs were built and very ornately designed by former emperors of Vietnam, and definitely worth a visit for their cultural and historic significance.

There’s much more to see and do around Hue, and the interactive map on this page is a great way to find out where the hotels, attractions, and must-see destinations can be found.
